That’s a beautiful letter; I think I’ll order that book. Thank you.

I actually do not like the book - only the letter. The book has excerpts of Maimonides’ writings, and you really need whole texts because he makes every single word count.

I’m no expert on Maimonides, but the Sholmo Pines translation of “Guide to the Perplexed” would be something I buy for my field of study. There’s also the Lerner/Mahdi “Medieval Political Philosophy,” which again has excerpts, but editors I trust.
